Hey -- It Was No Bigger Fraud Than the Trump Administration

I actually owned that album on vinyl LP back in the day, although I didn't pay for it due to being on the Warner Bros. mailing list as a baby rock critic.



It was really lousy, actually. Although "Can't Get No Nookie" was good for a couple of laughs.

And, of course, anything that pisses off Brian Williams obviously has some socially redeeming value.

My friend's big sister had a copy, which I borrowed in 1974. I couldn't the connect the back story to the music. It didn't sound right. It was terrible, but funny here and there.

I still have a vinyl copy. Knew it was fake when I found it in a used record store, but by then it was a much sought after collectors item.

Greil Marcus really hated "Super Session," didn't he?

Stars getting together was a thing back then. When my local station got their copy of "All Things Must Pass," the side they couldn't wait to play was the jam side. But most of the one-offs were snoozers. Maybe the Bloomfield/Dr. John/John Hammond one has aged the best.

Which Brian Williams does it piss off? Not the NBC anchorman, is it?

Steve,

Some time you should do a week of posts of famous musicians playing under assumed names on other people's records. You know, like Dr. Winston O'Boogie, Jerome Jerome, etc....
